      Great work bill!

      It seems the latest version of msn does has some kind of security, the chat logs are not being logged with the current imspector version Sad

      edit : Actually it does seem to log, but not using the contact names anymore, it displays weird strings : {90ef587c-b7cb-4110-9b5a-db95dd1c2339} and groupchat. I hope the latest build from Bill solves this problem.

        New build seems to be broken, atleast on 1.2.3. The gui is messed up (buttons outside the pfsense frame) and the messages (wich were logged with the 0.4 version) doesnt show correctly. I tried reinstalling and removing and installing, no luck.

        The problem is that there two many lines shown in the conversations. You know like

        n1ko: hi
        Fei Tang: hi

        shows up like

        n1ko: hi
        n1ko:
        n1ko:
        n1ko:
        Fei Tang: hi
        Fei Tang:
        Fei Tang:
        Fei Tang:
        Fei Tang:

        There are also totally empty lines (with only timestamp logged). And the spacing seems to be b0rked too or maybe theres two 'lines' on one line. Like "Hi              how are you", even tought it might have been "hi" and "after that how are you"

        EDIT: I was using google chrome before, now I tried with ff3. FF3 shows the buttons etc in their right places but the messages are messed up there too.

          What protocol was this?  IRC is working fine for me.

          I can only test FF3 and Safari - it's too late tonight to test out Safari, this is probably an alignment issue due to adding the category field.

            MSN and IRC. I only have these two.

            The logging format probably changed in some version because all the new things (logged with 0.8) are just fine. So I guess I just have to live with the old logs being a little bit b0rked :)

            I snooped around some more, like i guessed the problem is with the loggin format:

            OLD: 192.168.2.2:35408,1234243652,0,1,0,n1ko: message here

            NEW: 192.168.2.2:41211,1234250056,0,1,0,,n1ko: new message here

            Theres an second , before the nick. This is the only difference I found.

              Ahh, that's the category field :)  New logs are fine though right?  I'll see if I can change the regexp to support both formats - it's kind of a fast and loose regexp and needs some tightening anyway.

                Yes, everything new is fine. The log viewer / settings buttons are messed up with chrome but thats only a little annoyance. Firefox works  fine

                      Microsoft released a new version of msn recently, imspector fails to work with this version and it's logging unfort :(

                      See :

                      The groupchat logs are all from the same person/conversation Leaving impsector running for an hour results into a horrible amount of groupchat logs..

                      Any idea's if this is the imspector code which needs changing? Or is this related to the pfsense frontend?

                        Can anyone confirm if the previous pfs version (0.4?) is experiencing problems? I had no problems what so ever until I updated the package to 0.8-0.

                            I don't have, use MSN chat, or even known anyone that uses it.  I'll need to see the raw logs from /var/imspector to see if we're parsing something wrong.  I think I saw something about MSN and IMSpector somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it now - I swear it had something to do with your issue and the problem was that it needed to catch the initial sign in, which is on a different port.

                              Hey Bill,

                              I e-mailed the author of imspector for you regarding this issue, see below his feedback :

                              We have been using your imspector application and we are very happy with it!!

                              The only main problem we are having now is that microsoft recently released a new version of msn which is causing a horrible amount of groupchat logs.

                              See screenshot : (see above for screenshot)

                              Any idea's if this can be fixed somehow? I expect most people to start upgrading there msn versions soon..

                              _Good news: this is fixed in CVS.  You can get a tarball from the daily snapshot directory:

                              http://www.imspector.org/downloads/snapshots/

                              Give the latest checkout a go._
                              I guess they fixed this issue in the latest snapshot?Is this something you can include in the package Bill?

                              MSN is used mainly in the netherlands, other protocols and chat programs are barely used here, so I would love to get this working properly with the latest msn version. Thanks in advance for your efforts!

                                Hi good afternoon everyone :)
                                I installed version Imspector verio 8 now. But users who use yahoo messenger and msn disconnect after sending messages. I disabled the mysql server (ip 192.168.1.4 - windows mysql) . Same thing they disconnect. How to get rid of this? How to install mysql in pfsense?

                                  You be patient, or don't use the package and roll it yourself.

                                          Can anyone confirm if the previous pfs version (0.4?) is experiencing problems? I had no problems what so ever until I updated the package to 0.8-0.

                                          And these problems are….?

                                          Have you looked at the screenshots posted…...?

                                          Are you referring to AudiAddicts screenshots?  I don't see any from you.

                                          Yes I was. But I'll try to attach 2 pics using the attach feature here.

                                            Most of this should be solved in the latest update/snapshot from Imspector Otto.

                                            Now we wait for bill, hopefully he will be able to update the pfsense imspector package with the latest update from the imspector website.

                                            No rush btw bill, I'm glad your willing to take some time to fix this!
